You Know You’ve Been In The Hospital Too Long…
Posted in Life @ The Grand. — 5 Comment(s)
...when you look at your IV stand and think, “Gee, that would make a cute coat rack.”
The Morehead family has been doing fine, all three of us. Simon will likely stay in the NICU for awhile, but he’s getting stronger every day. They’ve had him on some breathing help, including a ventilator, due to some minor respiratory issues—but he’s slowly getting weaned off of that and has been responding really well. He’s also got a slight case of jaundice, so he’ll be under the lights for a little while to clear that up.
My blood pressure and heartrate have still been a little spotty over the past day or two, but I’m on a new, more aggressive drug that has been having some good effects. Jason and I are still planning to come home on Sunday sans Simon. Which will be hard, but we know that the NICU is the best possible place for him. And of course, we’ll be seeing him every day that he’s there.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and thoughts. It’s been a bumpy three weeks or so, but so worth it. We can’t wait to bring Simon home and share him with all of you.

Renae--Congratulations on the arrival of precious little Simon! I keep up on the happenings of your life via Rebecca and also occassionally viewing your blog. I knew you were expecting in March, so I was totally shocked to see a picture of tiny Simon on Rebecca’s blog!! Rebecca filled me in on all the details, being the dear friend that she is
. So sorry that you had to endure PIH. I also had PIH during my pregnancy, though not as severe as what you’ve gone through. I’m thankful that you’re slowly recovering and also that Simon is enduring and growing stronger. God bless you!

Wow, that *would* make a cute coat rack.
And we can’t wait to see Simon! I’m thrilled to see the little boy God has given to the two of you!

I thought the same thing (about the coat rack) the first night you were in. Funny.
